B16Hx80

B16Hx80 designates a SWEP B16 brazed plate heat exchanger with 80 plates in the pack. The H plate is the obtuse chevron: it gives the most heat transfer per plate and the most pressure drop, so it suits duties where approach temperature matters more than pump head. The B16 plate pack measures 376 x 119 mm (14.8 x 4.69 in) on 320 x 63 mm port centres, and by SWEP's published weight formula a 80-plate unit comes to about 11.1 kg (24.4 lb) dry. The frame is published to 16.9 m3/h (74.41 GPM) - a port limit rather than a design flow. For a new duty, send the inlet temperature on each side and the flows, and we will say immediatly whether this plate count is the right one.
